out how to be pope? what's the research involved? >> well, the research-- it wasn't really research, but it started the day he was created pope because he was the first pope in my lifetime that i had listened to. because i've heard he was speaking-- not just to mow but millions of others, not autboutd e issues, about how we should live our lives. he was talking about the environment, the inequality of life. so i identified with him. and so when i was offered the chance to play him, i jumped at it. but it helped. i looked a bit like him. but it-- i studied his movements and things, watching lots of youtube. i found youtube of him where he wasn't the smiling, avuncular pope on the balcony of rome when he's declared pope. he comes way history, a very checkered history. he's still seen as a divisive

person in argentina because of his possible collaboration with the corals. and it's talked about in this film. and the argentinean audience we showed it to last week thanked us for not shying away from the dark moment in their history and his history. you see the unsmiling pope and you see the man he becomes. people ask me how dibuild the character? i say i didn't, he did. and i followed it. >> stephen: what do you think of the gig? would you want to be pope? >> no. no. i think-- it's-- he talks-- you see it, and he talks about where it's a lonely life. and they both talk about being-- feeling that they're alone. >> stephen: well, it's a beautiful movie, thank you so much. lovely to meet you. >> thank you, stephen. >> stephen: "the two popes" is available on netflix tomorrow. jonathan pryce, everybody! we'll be right back.
